It could be an old-fashioned backcourt shootout as two of the most prolific guard tandems in the league hook up. The Warriors are 12-2 at home and average a league-best 121.8 points per game at Oracle Arena.

NEED TO KNOW

The Warriors lost on Christmas Day in Cleveland and this is their first game since. Golden State hasn’t lost back-to-back for 188 games now, since the 2014-15 season. . . . It’s the first of nine games in 10 at home for the Warriors. The only road trip is a 90-minute drive up to Sacramento. . . . Toronto hasn’t won at Oracle Arena since 2004. . . . DeRozan needs 15 points to pass Chris Bosh as the all-time leading scorer in Raptors history.
